The San Miguel group—Ninoy Aquino International Airport’s (Naia) new caretaker—and the government are already drawing heavy flak after hiking parking fees on Oct. 1.
But this may just be the start.
New Naia Infrastructure Corp. general manager Angelito Alvarez told reporters on Thursday that they might introduce before the year ends a new fee to ease the flow of traffic at the crowded airport.
Alvarez said they were studying the possibility of imposing a penalty for vehicles overstaying along the terminal driveways to encourage quicker movement in and out of the airport.
San Miguel chief Ramon Ang earlier broached this idea because he observed that some family and friends picking up and dropping off their loved ones at the airport took a long time to move their cars, thus were causing traffic.
Should this new fee be approved, it will be implemented during the holiday season when passenger volume goes up—which also means more people waiting for their loved ones to arrive.
